This story is set on the picturesque Hebridean island of Borva and revolves around the lives of Sheila Mackenzie and her father, the King of Borva. The narrative explores themes of love, loss, and the stark beauty of the Scottish landscape, examining the impact of modernity on traditional island life. At the start of the novel, we meet Mr. Mackenzie, an older man standing on a remote headland, bidding farewell to his daughter Sheila, who has left for London. This poignant scene establishes a sense of longing, emphasizing the emptiness left in Borva with Sheila's departure. As Mr. Mackenzie makes his way home, the people of Stornoway reflect on the significance of Sheila's absence and the difficulties that will ensue without her support for the island's poor. The opening introduces Sheila’s character through her father's reflections, illustrating her role as a caretaker of both her family and community, while hinting at the changes that lie ahead.
